One day we have gotten all of a bazooka, hand grenades, rifle and a revolver. And since they have our five, six sent out a street because they have meant, on the night the Russians come here because, as it seems. .. So .. and the captain wanted them to get away and still keep someone there .. and as luck has been, they have not come. We should go back and the captain: "If we comply with our men, we are saved." Then we would have come out, even if the Russians were already behind us quickly. Then I found the bazooka, -, a truck came hinaufgeworfen -. The rifle, hand grenades I threw the gun into a creek and I have kept me not. And then I start going to go back after them. And then I've had yet. - In a school we have been quartered - there are maps have been since I've taken a map, since I've been well versed after the retreat. .. - .. Since so goes one way, where the entire civilian population. .. We are certainly all back because of the bridge has been, where they handed out coffee .. Yes, what should we do? It does not help that the Russians we have in front of and behind us. After coffee I went to the street always alone, and then I can actually hear tanks behind me already. Since they have just done a thing, a bridge blown up big, and because I saw that, I'm up the mountain and had me down behind a tree. And then they came. On top of the tanks, they have played accordion, was a stunner. Now they have seen that they do not come across. Since you have made a case, and that would not hold. Exited. And since they may have had half an hour, then they are over. Since twenty tanks are behind come. And what the hell, what have I been a blessing. One comes up at once. Will have meant, maybe now they shoot .. and goes past me as equal under the tree. Well, I was glad that he has not seen me. And once they were gone, I'm back on the road down and then all the stuff is located around. Food they threw away everything. The cars. There is still located bread, it is located around all sorts. I have inserted what, I had such a small bag. It's been such a story, so go back!
